Before you start with these exercises, let the physiotherapist go through them with you to make sure that you do them correctly. Then the therapist can adapt them if necessary.
Your exercises must be done 2-3 times a day.
Stretches and exercises must not cause any pain. If any of the exercises or stretches cause any pain, reduce the intensity. If it still continues to cause pain, stop immediately and contact your therapist.
